Apple Music Home tab blank on iPhone after iOS 26.5.2

I have had a strange problem that has appeared a week and a half ago, when I open Apple music on my iPhone the Home tab is blank. The other tabs, New, Radio and Library work fine. This is just on my iPhone (15 Pro Max on iOS 26.5.2), Apple music including the Home, works properly on my iMac (2015 late on MacOS 12.7.6) and Apple TV 4K(tvOS 26.5) . I tried force closing the app, signing out then back in on my phone, even deleting the app and reinstalling it. Still no change. I contacted Apple service but this was no help, they suggested an issue with iCloud sync but I have not synced my library and this issue never came up before. I think it happened after upgrading my phone, an iPhone 15 Pro Max to iOS 26.5.2 I live in Geneva, Switzerland. It occasionally comes back after a restart but always reverts to a blank page.

Exact same problem here. Mine is on iPhone 16 Pro. Still works fine on iMac, MacBook Pro, iPad Pro, and Apple TV. Restarted multiple times, deleted the app and reloaded it, nothing works. All advice I have read says I need to sync my Music library with iCloud, but I never have in the past. Also syncing such a large library will go far, far over data limits. All other Apple Music tabs are fine (library is there, new music is there). Very frustrating as the only way to find and play songs on this device is to search for them. A fix is needed asap!
